Chalmers is fine. He can shoot threes, play defense and is unselfish. He’s slightly worse than Mo Williams was on the Cavs.

Totally agree, and actually, isn’t a chucker like Mo and plays much better defense, which to me actually makes him better.

I still think there’s enough their to win a title if Bosh is healthy and LeBron plays normal LeBron ball for 4 quarters and Wade doesn’t lose his composure.

Cayman Island account to a faux corporation owned by parents of Steve Nash with a 10-digit security code is the Heat’s best option.

I still say Nash/Gortat 13th pick for Lebron. Suns can throw in Dudley as well.

Haslem would retire most likely than play elsewhere.

So for the people wanting sign and trade, you’d have to find somebody to sign a very good player and accept Chalmers/Miller/Anthony/Battier in return. Woof.

They cannot trade picks or dead contracts (who wants what MIA has?) for Nash. Nobody wants their contracts and they traded a bunch of #1s to CLE and TOR in the LBJ / Bosh deals.

The only thing I could think was maybe a chalmers/miller for Nash/Childress type deal but even that wouldnt get Nash that much more money.

Player 2012/13 2013/14

Udonis Haslem $4,060,000 $4,340,000
Joel Anthony $3,750,000 $3,800,000
Shane Battier $3,135,000 $3,270,000

Norris Cole $1,113,600 $1,191,240
Ronny Turiaf $1,200,000 $0

$76 on the books next year.

Per my 1st comment, I’d stay put and roll the dice on being healthy into the 2013 playoffs

If thats the case than you use your mle on Grant Hill. That makes sense to me. Pretty sure Hill still lives in Florida anyways.

They cannot trade picks or dead contracts (who wants what MIA has?) for Nash. Nobody wants their contracts and they traded a bunch of #1s to CLE and TOR in the LBJ / Bosh deals. You cannot trade a first rounder in back-to-back years, so they cant unload their #1 this year, CLE has it next year.

That’s your offseason Miami.

Per my 1st comment, I’d stay put and roll the dice on being healthy into the 2013 playoffs (gulp).

I think Lopez could get $6 x 2 or so. There are so pretty bad teams with lots of cap space that could offer him $4-6m x 3.

As long as none of those teams are Phoenix I will be happy. The guy shows up once every 7 games. You can always sign and trade for Nash if he wants to be properly compensated.

Begging Nash does seem like the best move though. It’s that, or trade somebody, if you dont like the roster.

I wanted the Lakers to get Miller so bad in the offseason….so glad they didn’t

At PG for league minimum, you’d have maybe Gilbert or Baron Davis, or maybe a Johny Flynn.

I don’t see Nash or Kidd Kidd coming for the drama and $3 mill a year. Implausible but not impossible.

At that point they should be looking for a center not a PG. You could get Robin Yopez for the 3/3.

Also, Robin Lopez has a $4 mill qualifiyng offer most likely. He can get way more than the $3 mill from MIA.

Thinking it through, does a Miller Amnesty help them? It only does if that allows them to do another MLE. At that point they’d have to get another player to back-up SG/SF (terrible SG crop)

Amnesty Miller and beg Nash and Hill to come to Miami. Or you can always make trades. Which is probably their best option. Selling high on Wade right now would be the best move they could make.

You only get the higher $5 mill MLE if you didnt pay payroll tax the prior year (Heat paid this year).
